East Cheshire Mental health services set to be transformed

29 November 2018

Following a joint meeting of the Governing Bodies of NHS Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS South Cheshire CCG and NHS Vale Royal CCG, plans have been approved to transform care for adults and older people who experience severe mental ill health in East Cheshire, South Cheshire and Vale Royal.

A revised proposal, called Option 2 Plus, was approved at the joint meeting of the governing bodies. This option responds to many of the concerns raised during the consultation by retaining the majority of inpatient beds in Eastern Cheshire while still introducing all of the new community services.
